Documentations

One of the most common medication errors made by private individuals is the nonadherence to the treatment prescribed by the doctor. This error is sometimes unintentional and caused for example by forgetfulness, but it is also very often intentional.  The patient, influenced by different emotional, cognitive, behavioural and social factors, will intentionally not comply.

The Heb’Dose solution comprising of the Mbox and its accompanying therapeutic information sheet aims at providing pharmacists with tools to alleviate this intentional nonadherence, by accompanying the patient in a better understanding of his treatment and thereby encouraging his acceptance.

The Heb’Dose solution puts into place a medication circuit that is secure and traced at all stages: from the preparation in the pharmacy until administration in the care home or at the patient’s home. The Secur’Dose software has been designed to avoid transferring (deferring?) prescriptions, facilitate communication with the health institution, avoid preparation errors, and print the data on different supports (delivery notes, labels…) enabling in this way a continuous circulation of information right up to the patient’s bed at the time of administration. The ergonomics of the pill dispensers, their storage and distribution materials have been designed to make the nurse’s work easier, limit the transfer of medication and encourage the autonomy of the elderly in effectively taking their medication.

Medication iatrogenisis is a major public health problem, responsible for more than 10 000 deaths and 130 000 hospitalisations every year in France. It is caused by unavoidable events which can be linked to a product, and/or the patient, but also avoidable incidents which are usually the result of a series of dysfunctions generally known as medication errors. Medication errors can be defined as follows “all errors occurring within a medication circuit, whatever the stage where it happens (prescription, dispensation, preparation or administration), whoever the actor in the medication circuit that makes the error (doctor, preparer, nurse, patient or carer) whether it be due to the medication circuit design, its organisation or the communication within, and whatever the consequences.”

The blister used is manufactured in France in a clean-room environment, and is certified for contact with food. The preparation is for 7 days, so respects the recommendations in the case of deconditioning.

Medication which should not be deconditioned, such as orodispersible or effervescent tablets are managed independently, not in the blister.

Prolonged release medication and medication that must not be crushed is automatically placed in non-crushable cavities. The information is also noted on the therapeutic information sheet accompanying the Mbox in the case of preparation for the home.

We are able to generate a standard agreement dependant on the administration method of the establishment. A downloading link will be provided once the information request coupon has been completed.

Prescription management (data input, renewal, modification, importing the prescription…)
Preparation of pill dispensers and associated functions
Traceability information and the printing of documents accompanying the pill dispensers.

Relying on its long experience, Mdose is committed to a virtuous societal approach and seeks to provide medication circuit actors with tools to combat iatrogenic problems. In addition to these social and health aspects, Mdose has chosen an eco-design approach for its product design activity. For this purpose, the Heb’Dose solution products are manufactured entirely in France so as to limit their environmental impact (CO2 emissions). The materials used are recycled or recyclable, wherever the design permits, and their thickness optimized.  Our selected partners follow this same principle.
